Crossword Genius

A professional cook (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

doctor

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'a professional' is the first definition.
(doctor is a kind of professional)

'cook' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for doctor that I've seen before include "Medical specialist" , "Health expert" , "Tamper with - falsify - one of the 14 films" , "Ship's cook" , "An apple a day keeps him away" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
